About 35 minutes drive from Chilches you find Benalmádena - "The city, both located on the coast and by the mountains".
Because of this location the city is as a balcony with beautiful views over the Mediterranean Sea.
The old town and the parks with their masonry is definitely places that all tourists should pay a visit.
Benalmádena is located in the Sierra Mijas hillside. 280 meters above sea level and very easy to get to. Over the past 20 years Benalmádena has developed into an important center for tourism on the Costa del Sol. In summer the population triples, so it reaches a height of 30,000.
Benalmádena is divided into three different areas: Benalmádena Pueblo, Arroyo de la Miel and Benalmádena Costa.
The first is located 280 meters above sea level, and is a typical mountain village with narrow streets and windows decorated with geraniums.
The second, Arroyo de la Miel, is located between Benalmádena Pueblo and the coast. This urbanization is concentrated around the train station and turnpike between Benalmádena and coast.
The third, Benalmádena Costa, just as its name indicates, a coastal city, with all the relevant facilities, which we expect may be just such a place, and it is an excellent place to visit all year round.
Among attractions in Benalmádena you can find Puerto Marina, Telecabina, the Casino in Torrequebrada and the golf course with the same name.
The marina in Benalmádena Costa may take up to 1000 boats, with a length of 6 meters.
At the same time all kinds of water sports practiced here include hang-gliding and snorkelling.
Telecabinas - cable car - connecting Arryo de la Miel with the top of Carramolo mountain. From there you can, in clear weather, spot the coast of Africa. On the way out of the city - along Torremuella way - you will find Torrequebrada Casino, one of the coast's largest entertainment and convention centers.
The only 5-star hotel in the area is a unique tourist magnet that offers various facilities in Las Vegas-style! Enjoy dinner while being entertained by international shows. Have a look at the Casino, and you will feel the Las Vegas vipes!
